I have same kind of issue. Same dialog window but buttons are still visible, . I my case window gradually grew in size until it has stayed in this size for a while now. Happened already on Update 1. Dialog window does not have handles to change size. Windows 11 25H2, Vectorworks 2026 U2.

You can find the font from here https://www.latofonts.com/. Happy to help.

Hi Windows 11 25H2, Vectorworks 2026 U2.

Hi I'm getting this with Lato font. Lato (regular) changes to Lato Hairline. Arial on same Sheet Layer is not affected. Here I have used stock Simple Title Block 01 style from Vectorworks Library in blank document. VWX ja and PDF files attached. Text on sheet layer is also affected, viewports and viewport annotations are not. Sht-1-Sheet Title.pdf Title Block font change on publish.vwx

Hello I'm having little challenge with Worksheet Function TXT (https://github.com/Vectorworks/developer-worksheets/blob/main/Worksheet Functions/Vectorworks 2026 US.md#txtvalue-tounit-param1-param2-) and sorting. I'm using TXT to convert coordinate values to meters, rounding them at the same time and adding units at the end to get consistent values no matter what document units are. How ever this messes sorting (ascending) so it starts from zero and sorts to higher value disregarding negative mark. What I would like to happen is sorting to start from most negative ending at maximum positive value same way as numbers do. I get that this might to be because this is now text not number. I also get some unusual sorting, to me it seems that 2,9m is bigger than 2,16 and -2,82, so it should be between -2,82m and 3,12m. Is there way to get sorting from most negative to most positive with defined unit somehow. Sample file attached. PS. I know "divide coordinate by 1000, roundup to two decimals and add m trailer from number format" thing exists. That is affected by document units... WS TXT Function sorting.vwx

Hi Cristiano. Simply, data tag which shows desired parameters. In viewport annotations use Data Tag Tool in All Eligible Objects Mode, and you have all fixtures in viewport tagged with one click. Only remaining thing is to position tags so that those are readable. File with Tag is attached. It uses Channel as ID, Universe and DMX address as fields. Data-tag ID U DMX for forum .vwx

I have seen same kind of issues. Truss insertion seems to be my biggest issue. Especially when inserted with truss tool. If I duplicate with Control pressed + drag truss indication line appears always. Once I had all red indicators missing but that had something to do with corrupted user settings folder. When that was recreated all was fine. C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Nemetschek\Vectorworks\2025\Settings is user folder by default, remove or rename folder when Vectorworks is shutdown, on next startup folder is recreated. Be warned that some of your user settings and preferences are reset in the process.

Hi I post this here, I remember that @Scott C. Parker asked examples of changing truss process. This is very typical case I go thru. And this time I'm doing this as I write this to get authentic screenshots. Stick of trusses in the drawing, this time 9 x FD34 3m. For warehouse inventory reasons this needs to be changed to different truss and configuration. OK, we have tools for that, lets get on it. Replace Truss Type... I get pretty long list of candidates to chance to. Odd is that I'm pretty certain that in this file we have never used most of truss types that are in offer. Yes I have sometimes my self used this type of trusses in this installation of Vectorworks. Doesn't matter, I choose what I need, HD34 it is. All well, I have HD34 on drawing, somehow it is also desired silver type of symbol. That symbol or any other distinguishing info was not shown in previous dialog. But dang, now I still need to change configuration because of warehouse inventory. I need to use 6 x 3m and 4 x 2m. Its 1m short of original length but that is OK in this occasion. Choose truss, click Change Configuration button from OIP. You are greeted with this UI of usability. So many lengths to choose from. And ample space to use in actual business end of things. Now it is easy to choose right lengths for my need. If only I could know what length of truss is what symbol. Easy, lets be brave and take a pick from three different 3m piece that is on offer and then pick one of 2m pieces. Calculation is correct that after selection we are 1m shorter than original. Still bravely we advance. And this is result, black 3m pieces and Invalid Truss Symbol for 2m pieces. Well, 🤔, I was aiming for silver truss. Something is clearly wrong, lets try to fix 2m issue first. I had other option for 2m truss lets try that. Better but not quite right. Now I must reason that I don't have correct symbol in my file for 2m silver HD34. Lets add that to drawing by importing it to Resource Manager so it is in the file. But NO I still have only two options for 2m truss. What on earth is going on. Why I don't have that just imported symbol to choose from? Now I just need to know that it is needed to place one instance of truss to design layer for it to register as an option in truss configuration. What in earth??? And last step is to raffle in Replace Truss Configuration dialog what truss is what symbol. Usually coupe tries is enough. I cant prove it, but I also have hunch that in Replace Truss Configuration dialog trusses are chancing order in that length group depending what is chosen. You can't just pick "next in line" after each try because order has changed. Would it be idea to be able to choose right symbols to use in Replace Type dialog Not just truss system? A bit same way as you can choose corners in that same window? What is left to do is configuration changes, but maybe we could use this same process to do that also. I think that would be more intuitive way. I understand that Change Configuration process uses features of inventory somehow but I have not needed those in my years of use. Maybe someone uses truss inventory. We have inventory in different program that does that better and knows inventory by gig. This might also relieve pain about changing truss between inch/feet and metric systems. Now I think that easiest is to draw similar length line from other system and replace old with new. At least in Replace Truss Configuration show truss symbol name with length. That way user can read what is what. O, I almost forgot. when using these tools data from original trusses is lost. I mean class and Position Name of original truss. Losing Class info I almost can understand but losing Position Name is unforgivable. Must be way to read and save data from original system and write it to new system. I know that there is variables in here also but, 98% of times all trusses in same system has same Position Name and class. There is quite many step involved in chancing truss to match what is going to be build. I see why it feels easier just draw new system and delete old one. And this was just stick of truss. Don't get me started with complex structures... I hope we can get smoother process to change trusses.

Those files only appears once. Would add screen shot but I´m getting error on paste and Uploaded Images at bottom shows that Upload Failed. BTW. OS is Windows 11. VW26 restart did not resolve issue.

One anomality I noticed is on Data Tag selection dialog. It shows Library files twice. One needs to learn to use tool but at the moment I think this is major improvement. Good job Team.

Hi Webpage, https://www.vectorworks.net/en-US/newsroom/2025-update-6 mentions feature, What this means? How this update helps my calculations? What are latest specs? I could not find mentions of this in other release notes.

Thanks Jesse this works now. Cell Formula is Column in Pat's script that concats PIO Name and Field name together. Example 'Lighting Device'.'Symbol Name'. It is easier to copy ready made Cell Formula to where you need it, no need to guess right syntax.

@Jesse Cogswell I tested your script with couple of Spotlight objects and found issues to run it. Lighting Device: Truss: On Hoists this works as a charm. Nice work. Could you also add field for Cell Formula? This would be help to my kind of amateur data miner. I like that your worksheet has Current value field, makes it easier to compare and understand relations in data.

Hi If I'm not mistaken a lot, this is some Vectorworks / Braceworks quirks. "Not properly supported" message actually comes from those corner blocks that need support in Braceworks. I think program treats them as corners that have side ways connection perpendicular to your stick of truss, even if you don't connect anything to sides. If you add hoist to support corner block then calculation is successful. You can try this with T-corner. If T is not supported calculation will fail. If T is supported from "leg" everything is calculated correctly, if you support T from center line of truss at least I get some funny results for deflection. "Cross section types do not match" means that you have different types of truss connected together. You can (in program) connect them together, but their structural data differs from each other. This usually is not advised by manufacturers and thus warning is shown. Calculation is still performed with warnings. Please correct me if I am in wrong. I'm happy to learn new things.

Try this: You can install it from this tool that Jesse has developed: JNC Tools has other great tools/plug-ins available. You can get those all from Manger.
